Now before I begin there’s something you’ve got to know.
I’ve never been locked in county pen or been out on parole.
Never been pinched selling dope. Nope...
I’m just a broke normal Joe blow with nothing to show.
use to be in the grind but I escaped.
So now I’m fake cause I'd rather fire my nine at the firing range.
Cause I don’t require things like nice cars and shining rings.
Man Sometimes I think the violence has gone to far inside of the game.
Still got this ball in chain still in the same place were it started.
All the problems backing up my esophagus until I vomit it.
Discarded by my father that never bothered to call his kids.
At lease that’s one problem that hip hop artist and I have in common.
Fending on your own its dark and momma still isn’t home.
Alone with the television and flipping but s*** isn’t on.
Trying to call your friends’ crib but your missing the phone.
just like them I’m just another lyricist trying to visit the show.

but I'm not a gangster....
but does that make me whack?
Expendable as trash minimal to the rappers that had it bad.
I'm not a gangster...
I never had a wrap because I kept my act sensible.
laughing at the fact that I’m miserable. 2x

I grew up the same way feeling the same pain.
the same strain on my brain fearing the same damn things.
When will I ever get out from under this Staircase.
When will I s*** can this land of waste for a bigger landscape.
Were it’s safe instead of caught up in the carnage.
Got me restricted to in wonder off in certain parts of apartments.
I’m tired of feeling like a lost dog on a shock collar.
Thinking I’m just A target to get shot in the park for my last dollar.
Yo it’s so hard to acknowledge what’s true and what’s fake.
Hanging with balla’s thinking you friends but to them you ain’t.
Then it’s too late the one you depending on turned two faced.
Leaving you back at the beginning with no food on your plate.
So I’ve searched for a new taste took a turn from the Judas.
Cause truth is the only way to get through it’s stupid influence.
I ain’t gotta prove s*** cause this is as true is it gets.
But I ain't going to get ruthless and loose it over the usual s***.

I 'm still hearing you say you're still in the grind.
If that’s true you got to be ignorant to leave your millions behind.
Risking your life for what? “nothing” Just to get your blood pumping.
Killing your own brothers for blood money I think that’s f***ing disgusting.
There’s not enough loving we need to stop coping a fit.
Robbing the rich and popping the clip over dollars and cents.
Call me a prick but it’s common sense to stop all of this.
Cause all it’s doing is giving our kids to many problems to live.
You got the gift so why not use it for something useful.
In place of this brutal mentality bit cause reality is crucial.
You don’t have to listen to this vision of redemption I’ve written.
But I’ll keep spiting this premonition until I finish my mission.
Put an end to the violence in this land of confusion.
As the white illusion who units with a types of family reunions.
Cause I'm color blind your just another brother of mine.
One way or another we’re brothers under gods colored disguise.

this is a keeper for sure! i like the vision and the subject of the song, to some degree i feel the same way. keep it up mannn

Thanks for your props. It is a subject not too many people have touched on.

I really like this, one of your best by far. I wrote a couple songs talking about how violence is some areas just isn't the way. To be more specific name of the song was " You're white and you're from maine?" So I can relate heavily to this.

Thanks for the props HGP. I will keep droping stuff like this. most of what I wright relates to it.

You're on a roll, 'Deep! Really. There's a great flow Gangsta's lyrics. Your poetry is amazing to me. (And I'm kind of particular about poetry--not just 'anything' impresses me.) Also, you have "SK'nDeep hallmarks" or an "artist's characteristic style." You know, the way a certain painter's work can be identified because his/her soul/self is in it? Well, your lyrics that I have read are like that. Your style is clean; your message is mean; you speak truth; you come at things from an unexpected angle ..

With Gangsta, you speak your truth and stand your ground. This you do without making some kind of bogus challenge; and in keeping with your peaceful ways and message. Gangsta is strong. It's a man's song. Somehow you are able to reveal your damaged self--without pity, without blame, without shame. And you stand tall. I like Gangsta, SK'nDeep! Please don't give up. This song might be one that could put you in the gallery with the bad boys, without actually joinin' the club, if you know what I mean.

I always enjoy hearing your feed back. It's inspires me more than you may know. I have always second guessed my self. It’s one of those things were you feel it right be your not sure of your self. I know I lack confidence in my self. And I know I’m not he best. But I strive to be. and with feed back like that. anythings possible. As far as being famous,I really don't care if I am are not. All I want is to be heard. The hell with the fame, cars, Bling, if I get rich form it great. I have allot of family and friends in a bad spot that could use it too. I have lived in the slums for too long. But one thing I can say about that is, I know what it's like to struggle. and I have become accustom to it.
Thanks again for your inspirational post.

Well, this just proves that this Forum works on a reciprocal level. Whatever we give, we get something back for it eventually. Your words to me are also encouraging; I double-think, triple-think a lot of things. I have a head of steam, then some little thing comes at me and I back off some--why? Don't know. Maybe as you indicated, a lack of self-confidence. And yet, crazily enough, I think in many ways we both have a lot of grit, stick-to-it-tive-ness, and maybe carry a little bit of stubborn around with us. That's how I've made it through so far. The world is tough, so our inner-selves have to be even tougher--not as a weapon, but as a protection. Big difference there, huh? The slums weren't my home, but I can assure you, we've both seen lots of extreme adversity, unfairness, and violence. Ya know how I feel? I know now how to live with and without. I am not sorry I had the experience of living without. It made me stronger, more understanding, and out of necessity to find that deep inner core of self that nobody can take away. Ever. At times that strong little core may feel lost; but it's not. It's still there driving us on. It's just that our string of connected-ness to it has stretched thin or broken, but like a little spider weaving that steel-strength silk, we'll build another thread to connect again with ourselves. Thank you for everything you have given to me through your poetry/songs, and through your goodness.

You're most welcome...

Anyone else care to leave any feed back?

I like it man. I was actually just starting similar to this. Its called "trapper rapper" though. I only wrote a few lines though so far. Every time I read your raps, I get the same feeling from each of them. Like what Frankie Jasmine said about your style. Its apparent in everything that I have read and, honestly, thats impressive to me. That can be hard sometimes. Your style is very emotional and is easily picked up. The only thing I can say, and I'm not trying to be a **** or anything, just giving a thought, is that you seem one dimensional rapping wise. (Don't get me wrong, your lyrics, vocabulary and everything are fantastic.) By that I mean, your raps only reflect being down and giving a voice to things that don't have one. Thats not a bad thing because that's where some of the best writing comes from, and its a great way to vent things in your life, but for me personally, I wanna see something that makes you extremely happy. Or like the best day of your life. Or a rap about something that your obsessed with. Again, not putting you down just giving you a thought. I'm sure you'll understand. Fantastic song though. Really nice

Yo Skin! Ive been writing about the same thing! But yo, Keep up the good work! Maybe we can make a collab one day, man
